Spring Semester Plans



Spring semester is almost here. Please make sure your Spring semester plans are updated (at least through LP6) by Monday, January 28. While Visions only requires that the semester plan is updated at the beginning of each LP, many families find planning for the whole semester is easier than doing one LP at a time.

Let me know if you would like any help with this. I am happy to update the semester plan for you if you provide me with the following info:

  1. What books, materials and/or activities you are using for each subject.
  2. What unit, chapter, assignment, or pages you plan to complete each LP for each book, material and/or activity.

You can email me that info if it is easier for you. We can also set up a Virtual meeting and do the plan together if you like. Just let me know.

Remember: You are not required to use the provided semester plans - I am. What I do need from you is the info from #1 and #2 above. You can provide this information in any way that is convenient for you.

Report Cards - LP5 Meeting - UPDATED


I will be collecting report card progress (K-5) and grades (6-12) at our LP5 virtual meeting.

Here is how to prepare:

Grades K-5:
Remember, there are no real "grades" for K-5. Report cards just track progress through the grade level standards. In general: most students will be earning 2s for most categories,  a student working above grade level will earn 4s, categories not addressed yet will earn 1s, categories covered fully will earn 3s.
  • Download (or just view) sample report cards below. Look over the categories and see if you have any questions. 
  • Decide if you would like to add optional effort grades and if so, have them ready to give me at our LP5 meeting.
  • Write up your overall comments to read to me at our LP5 meeting. 
  • Have your progress grades ready to give me at our LP5 meeting.
  • You don't need to fill out the LP5 progress tab on the semester plan. The report card will count for that.
Grades 6-12:
  • Check in on your student's grades and progress, keep close track between now and our LP5 meeting.
  • Write up your overall comments and optional effort grades to give to me at our LP5 meeting. 
  • Have your final grades updated in your Semester Plan for our LP5 meeting.
Grades 9-12:
  • Check in on your student's grades and progress, keep close track between now and our LP5 meeting. 
  • Write up your overall comments to give to me at our LP5 meeting. 
  • Have your final grades updated in your Semester Plan for our LP5 meeting.

You can download/view sample report cards here.

If you have any questions, or need any help, please contact me.
